Newbie help, Controlling MC's

[theRonster]

I have created movie clips for buttons to enable a visited state. (buttons control MC with up, down and visited states in time line).

What I would like to do next is set a script that will go to a specific frame in that MC depending on who clicks.

Basically, it's a game, and I need different rollover colours for 2 separate players. Player one clicks and the visited state goes blue. Player 2 clicks and the visited state goes red.

Can I do this with a smart clip and action script?

Any pointers much appreciated.

from what you sad i understand that in your game two players are switching rounds and only one player is active all the times(unless its not a multiplayer game or you have two mice ;) ).
you have to declare a variable to know who is active and than simply use some condition to decide to which frame you send your mc.

fro ex.

//red player is active
activePlayer = "red"

//myMc is your multi-color button
myMc.onRelease = function() {

if(activePlayer == "red") {
//red is active -> go to frame 1
myMc.gotoAndStop(1);
}

if(activePlayer == "blue") {
//red is active -> go to frame 2
myMc.gotoAndStop(2);
}
};

hope it helps
